I was rather happy to pick up this little all-matching gem. It's is about as nice a WAR FINISH Britishicon issue MkIV as you are likely to see with a strongly struck broad arrow, uncracked grips and no real wear or abuse apart from some of the screw heads being a little deformed long ago. Bore is about mint.

For those not familiar, the War Finish guns were built for the British Army and were left roughly machined to speed production, though critical surfaces were polished so they have the same action as the commercial versions of the same gun.

The basic story is that RSAF Enfield basically STOLE the Webley design and made the Enfield No.2MkI revolver - very nearly an outright clone of the Webley. Nevertheless, Enfield could not supply these in enough quantity durign the war so a large quantity of real Webleys also had to be purchased and this is one of those.

It's in .38/200 AKA .38 S&W with a heavier bullet.










Shout out to Collector's Source for hooking me up and at a very reasonable price too
